Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!! Christmas was busy but good and hard. We had a good day but really missed my mom. Christmas isn't the same without her. One of my friends shared this poem with me and I wanted to share it-

I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below

With tiny lights, like Heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow

The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away the tear

For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear

But the sounds of music can't compare

with the Christmas choir up here.

I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring,

For it is beyond description to hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart

But I am not so far away, we really aren't apart.

So be happy for me, dear ones, you know I hold you dear.

And be glad I'm spending Christmas

With Jesus Christ this year.

I sent you each a special gift, from my heavenly home above.

I sent you each a memory of my undying love.

After all, love is a gift more precious than pure gold

It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.

Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do

For I can't count the blessing or love he has for each of you

So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear

Remember, I am spending Christmas

with Jesus Christ this year.

We love you mom and miss you so much! We wish you were here with us in person. I still don't believe this really happened to us and I would really like to know why. I struggle and miss you everyday. I love you and can't wait to see you again.

Here are some pictures of our Christmas...

Brock is HOME!!!!

Brock is FINALLY home!!! yay!! I can't believe his 2 years has come and gone. We are so happy to have him home, even though I'm sure it is hard for him! He came home to so many different changes. We are so proud of him and what he accomplished in the 2 years he was gone. It was a bittersweat day getting him from the airport. The day my mom dreamed of!! It was really hard not having her there in person but I am sure she was still there, even if we couldn't see her. We had a busy day, Brock flew in at 10, we went and ate at Crown Burger (a Wilson family favorite) then went home so Brock could be released then we headed back to Salt Lake to Grandpa and Grandma Rigby's Christmas party! It was a great day! We love you Brock and are glad to have you home!!

Is this real??

Can I please wake up from this awful nightmare?? When I look at pictures it does not seem real yet I live through this torture everyday! I can't believe this is really all true. My heart breaks everyday because I miss my sweet mom so much! I miss her smile, I miss talking to her, I miss watching her with Braxton, I miss going shopping with her. She was the best mom and grandma anyone could ask for. She was so selfless, she always put us before herself. And would drop everything if I needed help. I miss her being the life of the party. With the holidays coming up, well they are pretty much going to suck without her. They definately wont be the same. Somedays I feel totally lost without her. She is an amazing person who I look up to so much. I am trying to be a better, more selfless person and I hope I can someday be half the person she is. I miss you so much mom, I wish you could come back! I love you and think of you everyday!

Over you by Miranda Lambert

This is one of Miranda Lambert's new songs, She and her husband Blake Shelton wrote it. Blake's brother was killed in a car accident when Blake was young. It reminds me of how I feel with my sweet mom. Here are the lyrics and the song....

Wheather man said it's gonna snow,
By now I should be used to the cold.
Mid-February shouldn't be so scary,
It was only December
I remember the presents, the tree, you and me.

But you went away,
How dare you?
I miss you
They say I'll be ok,
But I'm not ever going to get over you.

Living alone, here in this place,
I think of you, and I'm not afraid.
Your favorite records make me feel better
Cause you sing along with every song.
I know you didn't mean to give them to me

But you went away,
How dare you?
I miss you
They say I'll be ok,
But I'm not ever going to get over you.

It really sinks in, you know,
when I see it in stone.

Cause you went away,
How dare you?
I miss you
They say I'll be ok,
But I'm not ever going to get over you.

Halloween

Braxton dressed up as Buzz Lightyear for Halloween!! He was so cute and loved his costume! We took him trick-or-treating to the business's in Morgan then just to family's houses! He was on a total sugar high!! He would tell me- "mom, I batman" and I would say no you are Buzz! and he would say "Oh I Buzz!" he was so funny. He hadn't eaten any dinner so I put his candy where he couldn't reach it in the car and he told me- "mom, you maka me sad!" It made me feel bad but he had to have dinner first!!

Happy Birthday Keaton!

I had to work in the morning of Keaton's birthday but after work I took him some suckers for his school class, he hadn't gone to lunch yet so I checked him out of school for his lunch hour and took him to Steph's for his birthday lunch!! After school a few friends came over and my dad and I took them to Classic Skating for a few hours then back to our house for pizza and ice cream cake-which he requested!! :) I hope he had a fun birthday!!!
